Join NWA Book Fest at Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville on Saturday, September 26th for a fun-filled day celebrating all things bookish! 📚 Whether you're a bookworm, a casual reader, or you're just discovering the joy of reading, this is the place to be.

Come meet your favorite authors, get your books signed, discover new reads, join in exciting panel discussions, and shop our bookish market!

There's something for every reader at NWA Book Fest! Don't miss out on this literary extravaganza!

Tickets are not required, but you can RSVP here by making a donation to our organization. If you love the work that NWA Book Fest is doing, please consider making a financial contribution to help us keep our events free!

100% of proceeds help us bring authors, panelists, and more bookish programming to our events.

Think of us as your next great read - a story to share with your book loving community. Donating the cost of a new paperback ($15), a new hardback ($30), a whole series ($75), or a limited edition boxed set ($150) can help us create events, workshops, panels, and signings that create meaningful relationships, lasting inspiration, and palpable opportunity for the literary community of Northwest Arkansas.
